paroles de chanson Cliffs of Mohar - The Wolfe Tones

Oh I met her on the Cliffs of Moher
A lovely girl in a lovely land
She said she came from Philadelphia
A city in a far-off land
She always wanted to see Ireland
A place she calls her ancestral home
Her people came from Tipperary
From Cork, from Belfast, from Tyrone
A land of beauty and of mystery
This ancient land that I love
A land of history and tragedy
This is the land I love
A land of beauty and tranquility
Of our music and of song
A land of mystery and history
This is the land I love (Ireland)
So, I walked around the Ring of Kerry
Killarney's lakes and Cashel's halls
Through lofty hills and pleasant valleys
She found a land that was her home
In the Georges Streets of Dublin city
Love blossomed like a summer's rose
Then to Tara's Hill of ancient legend
And New Grange at the evening's close
A land of beauty and of mystery
This ancient land that I love
A land of history and tragedy
This is the land I love
A land of beauty and tranquility
Of our music and of song
A land of mystery and history
This is the land I love (Ireland)
Then we walked the streets of Ulster
We've seen a divided, troubled land
With emblems, flags, and colours blazing
A divided people, a divided land
On Antrim's coast we saw great beauty
On the Causeway we took photographs
From Derry's walls right through Lough Erne
We shared our jokes and songs and laughs
A land of beauty and of mystery
This ancient land that I love
A land of history and tragedy
This is the land I love
A land of beauty and tranquility
Of our music and of song
A land of mystery and history
This is the land I love (Ireland)
We said goodbye on the Cliffs of Moher
In a fleeting glance love passed us by
As the sun was merging with the ocean
And disappearing from the sky
Then the moon rose up in great defiance
For stars were twinkling in the sky
In the shadows of that summer's evening
We kissed once more and said goodbye (Ireland)
